We haven’t experience this just yet, but if this does happen - no matter at what time you arrive at the airport or if you have any kind of delay, there will be someone waiting for you at the airport. Once we have received your flight details, we give these details to our resort representative - that will be picking you up from the airport and bring you to the hotel and the boat harbor and return. We would get the boards delivered to the resort on the next ferry.
